Let’s be real: life moves fast, and who has hours every day to style their curls? We get it. Between work, errands, and all the daily hustle, spending ages on your hair just isn’t realistic. But guess what? You can still have gorgeous, defined curls without devoting an entire morning to them. At The Curl Co., we’re all about keeping things simple, practical, and, of course, fabulous!

Here are five fun, easy styles for all you curly heads on the go. These looks are designed to save time, keep frizz at bay, and let those curls shine—all with minimal effort. Let’s get styling!

1. The Effortless Pineapple

The “pineapple” isn’t just a delicious fruit—it’s also a curly girl’s best friend! This style lifts your curls off your face, keeps them bouncy, and takes all of two minutes to do. The best part? It doubles as a style and a way to keep your curls safe and frizz-free when you're on the move.

How to Do It:

• Flip your head upside down.

• Gather all your curls at the top of your head and secure them with a soft, satin scrunchie.

• Let the curls cascade over for a fun, voluminous look.

Pro Tip: Spritz a bit of water or The Curl Co.’s Curl Refresher Spray to revive your curls before gathering them up. This style works especially well with second- or third-day curls that need a quick pick-me-up!

2. Twisted Half-Up, Half-Down

Perfect for those days when you want to look polished without too much fuss, the twisted half-up, half-down style is as quick as it is cute. It’s great for showing off your natural texture while keeping curls out of your face. Plus, the twists add a nice, romantic vibe that looks way more elaborate than it actually is.

How to Do It:

• Take two small sections from each side of your head.

• Twist each section toward the back, then secure them with bobby pins or a small clip.

• Fluff up the remaining curls for extra volume.

Pro Tip: Run a small amount of The Curl Co.’s Enhance and Define Softhold Curl Cream through your curls before styling. This keeps them smooth and frizz-free, perfect for keeping this look neat all day long.

3. Low-Bun Chic

Nothing says “classy yet effortless” quite like a low bun. This style is especially handy on days when your curls just don’t want to cooperate, or when you need a quick, polished look for work or an outing. The best part? It works for all curl types, from loose waves to tight coils!

How to Do It:

• Gather your curls at the nape of your neck.

• Twist them into a low bun and secure with a hair tie.

• Pull out a few face-framing curls for a relaxed vibe, or go for a sleek look by smoothing down flyaways.

Pro Tip: Add a dab of The Curl Co.’s Nourish and Hydrate Curl Serum to your hands before gathering your hair. This will keep your curls hydrated and add a subtle shine to the bun. For added hold, you can even use a lightweight gel to slick down any stubborn frizz.

4. The Messy Top Knot

The messy top knot is a lifesaver when you’re in a rush and need something stylish yet low-maintenance. It’s ideal for travel, workouts, or when you just want your curls up and out of the way. This style looks perfectly undone while keeping all your gorgeous curls front and center.

How to Do It:

• Flip your hair upside down and gather it at the crown of your head.

• Twist into a bun, secure it loosely with a scrunchie, and let a few curls spill out for that effortless vibe.

• Fluff and adjust as needed.

Pro Tip: A quick mist of The Curl Co.’s Curl Refresher Spray before you start gives your curls a bit of extra texture. This style is great for when your curls are a little stretched out or need a refresh without a full wash.

5. Braided Crown

If you’re feeling a bit more creative but still need a quick, easy style, a braided crown is the way to go. It’s perfect for adding a playful, boho touch to your curls without sacrificing time. Whether you’re headed to brunch or just want a change of pace, the braided crown is a guaranteed win.

How to Do It:

• Take a small section from the front of your hair on each side.

• Braid each section and secure with a small elastic.

• Pull the braids back and pin them together at the back of your head, just above the nape.

Pro Tip: Apply a touch of The Curl Co.’s Lightweight Curl Cream before braiding to keep things smooth and reduce frizz. This style works great on all curl patterns and holds up well even on humid days.
